Hey, you're doing it wrong!
Developer Robomodo thinks that maybe you don't know how to play its game, Tony Hawk Ride. The Chicago-based developer has put a slew of "how-to" videos on its official YouTube account, including such gems as "Navigation" and "Basic Grinds."
In my recent review, I found the game and accompanying board to be frustrating to use and non-responsive. In short, I didn't have much fun. After dumping hours into the game and receiving little to no rewards, I doubt I'll go back, even though I appreciate Robomodo's assistance.
But with many of you potentially getting this game for Christmas (I've seen more than one parent picking this up at Target and Walmart), you might benefit from a little extracurricular help.

Man, I feel stupid.
This is the DEVELOPER?! Too funny. It reminds me of the Brutal Legend "you're doing it wrong" letter.
Nooo! Save the children!
Since I don't have the game it leaves open some options. Review copies, or even retail copies did not explain well enough how to break the sensor beams. Review copies did not come with instructions at all.
Where is the failure here? Reviewers doing it wrong, not really being agile people, or do they have some special board that just works? The other odd thing I heard a lot of was that people fell off the skateboard ... well that's what happens on a skateboard ... If you are falling off of this, maybe you are lacking in dexterity.
Maybe this is just a big statement. "You can't skate better than Tony Hawk and this is proof." *rolleyes*
The people that probably need to see this won't, and the people that do see it already know they're just covering up for making a piece of shit game.
